Today marks the 71st year of the Korean War. We’ve created some graphics to help digest the human costs of this war that killed 4-5 million people and keeps Korea divided and occupied to this day.

Great collection of progressive voices on foreign policy in @ftravelersblog. It's long past time the US government abandon its focus on North Korea's unilateral disarmament and instead prioritize officially ending the Korean War with a peace agreement.

Since 2017, US citizens have been restricted from traveling to North Korea. This ban prevents Korean Americans from visiting family members, hinders humanitarian orgs from delivering critical assistance, and obstructs people-to-people exchanges and peace-building efforts.

"If the United States truly aspires to improve the human rights of North Koreans, it should weigh the provision of humanitarian aid instead of emphasizing propaganda leaflets that put the lives of South Koreans at risk." https://t.co/f2jeIgH33G

Reminder that the Korean War has been ongoing for 70+ years, which is also why military service is mandatory

Peacebuilding is essential and this is an issue that is way overlooked!!! Korea remains divided because of a history of US imperialism and militarization!!!

"Unless they reorient their policies now," writes @onekoreapeace of @WomenCrossDMZ, the US and South Korea "may squander crucial opportunity to end Cold War divisions and prevent nuclear escalation in Asia."

“Any kind of silence about past trauma or suffering blocks the kind of healing in our personal lives. … Breaking the silence is really important, because of the way silence affects us.”

How has the silence around the Korean War affected you? #APAHM #KoreaPeaceBridge

"Biden has called North Korea the United States’ foremost foreign policy challenge. To meet this challenge requires a bold new approach that puts peace at the beginning — not the end — of the process." Read @cmoo11_ 's latest op-ed in @TheHillOpinion.

Q: What is our relationship to other BIPOC communities in the US, especially Black and Indigenous communities? What is the responsibility of Koreans living and organizing on stolen land? #APAHM #KoreaPeaceBridge

1/ Today is the anniversary of the 2018 #InterKoreanSummit, a day that brought hope to millions of Koreans longing for a new era of peace after 70 years of division. Here’s how people around the world have been keeping the hope alive 🧵

[Veterans For Peace @VFPNational]

Before #EarthDay🌎 ends don’t forget to sign our petition calling for US Climate Envoy Kerry to address militarism as a major cause of the #ClimateCrisis & redirect bloated/destructive military expenditures to provide for human needs!
Add your name now: https://t.co/4BQDeJmN3F

[Colleen Moore @cmoo11_]

Yes! A peace agreement that ends the wartime status quo would enable normalization of US-DPRK relations and establish conditions for negotiating denuclearization. It's about resolving the root cause of the security crisis - the state of endless war. #KoreaPeaceNow

[U.S. Youth, Peace & Security Coalition @us_ypscoalition]

“Youth movements have played an increasingly prominent role in calling for action to address climate change. Many youth-led organizations are also engaged in initiatives to build peace in their communities. However, youth remain sidelined.”https://t.co/GGTNfHvxWw #Yes4YPS

This #EarthDay2021 🌏, let’s remember that war and militarism are some of the biggest threats to our environment. 🧵

"There is no military option with North Korea, but continued military threats, sanctions and antagonistic rhetoric by the U.S. will inevitably heighten tensions," writes @christineahn in @NBCNewsTHINK

[Women's Action for New Directions WAND @WomensAction]

📢 We've joined our friends at @WinWithoutWar @Public_Citizen & 33 more organizations to call for a reduction to bloated Pentagon spending!
